Matthew 21:1-9 ▼

1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you?, and immediately you? will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Having loosed them, bring them to Me.

3 And if anyone should say anything to you?, you? will say that the Lord has need of them, and immediately he will send them.”

4 And this came to pass so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through the prophet, saying,

5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King comes to you, gentle and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

6 And the disciples, having gone and having done as Jesus directed them,

7 led the donkey and the colt and put their garments on them, and He sat on them.

8 And the very large crowd spread their garments in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and were spreading them in the road.

9 And the crowds going before Him and those following were crying out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
